Drink the hundreds of different cheap and good beers! That's what I've always done, although my memories about the other stuff we did is a bit vague..

Unfortunately, nobody has yet mentioned that Germany produces some of the world's greatest beer. You should make an effort to thoroughly sample them all.

Well, there's the Volkswagen-Audi Group HQ in Wolfsburg, if you like cars and design. We were going to visit it last time we were in Berlin, but the train tickets were a bit steep for a half-day visit.

+1. Rental companies will rent out high end sports cars. Get one, and see how fast you can go on the Autobahn.
